I have taken my vehicle to this shop twice now for my timing. They claim they have repaired it twice & also replaced a variable valve timing solenoid. Almost $3,000. Once again it quit working months ago. Had it towed to another mechanic & when diagnosed, it went back to the timing chains for the 3rd time in less than a year. My mechanic went on line & informed me Cadillac has has a lot of problems with the timing on their cars. Pls help. I am disabled & I think there should be a recall on this car. When I was driving it this last time, the car would speed up on its own which was very scary for me. When I got to my destination a mile up the road it died. I tried to start it & it would start but wouldn't turn over. When I let go of the key it stayed on & kept trying to start on its own, like I had the key turned. It did shut off finally when I turned it off. After the mechanic at cables fixed the timing the first time, I was informed if I didn't replace the variable valve timing solenoid, he could not guarantee the timing again so I paid to have that done as well. This all started 7-24-14 & has been in the shop off & on since then. I recently lost my youngest daughter & am disabled so my transportation is everything to me & I can't keep paying for this timing since I am now paying for funeral expenses along with many other related expenses. Pls pls help.

Car started rattleing when first starting. Shortly after my check engine light came on and it was running rough all the time then. Brought it to a mechanic and found out it's the timing chain. Super expensive to replace and per. Forums looks like tons of people with the 2006 Srx had this problem as well. Nothing but constant repair bills with this crossover. I feel it is a safety issue as it could break at any time from being loose. I feel this should be recalled and replaced.
